This took me so many places - nuclear death, the sins & iniquities of our society, war across the lands - I've come back to it a couple of times because I didn't know what to say. Snapshots of a tortured reality that make me ask 'why?'

Personally I liked the last line in the original. Brought it all back to a personal view for me.

Nice work - I continue to be impressed MB

Journyman-

Thank you very much. It's always nice hearing your opinion. I was partial to the last line, but I have to agree with Ms. V. on her suggestion. Thanks for the comment all the same.
